8. Make yourself a respectable home

Once you're feeling comfortable with yourself and you've started harvesting quite a few supplies, you can start moving out of your cave by building an actual home. I make sure I harvest quite a bit of wood and turn them into planks with the Crafting Table. You can also use stone and other ores for building materials. The best way to learn about them and how to create them is to play in Creative mode for a while so you can explore a full inventory first.

Minecraft Pocket Edition: Top 10 tips, hints, and cheats!

Nice to see Minecraft make its way into the blogs, though I would technically call this a getting started with Minecraft post. Still good advice for new players though, no matter the playing medium (mobile, console, or computer).

This is awesome, Ally. My daughters play Minecraft PE on their minis and my oldest always wants to show me what she's made - she fancies herself the resident Minecraft expert. Maybe I will give it a go, but on my iMac. I think she'd like that.
If you have anymore tips & tricks...
:D

Hands down my nine year old's favorite game on his 'Touch'. He's been playing it through a couple generations of iPods and this 5th gen really flies with the game, no latency....which makes for a significantly more enjoyable experience. Amazing, the 'old school' games making their return. Thanks again...I think @ 44 years old I might've missed the M/C craze (Wolfenstein, Ultima I-IV were my games of choice on the IIe in the mid 80s....then, I had to work! Lol. Lots of fun playing vicariously through my son. iOS with the family....whether Yahtzee, scrabble, monopoly.....or Minecraft, it's a grand slam! These days aren't tough to get young kids to focus and play the 'real' board game. Though I did buy my son Stratego for Christmas and he LOVES it! Stratego on iOS.....where is it? I've got Risk. Battleship...afore mentioned monsters, but WTH is Stratego?? (IMHO, the best board game, along with Risk!)
Thanks much. I printed the instructions off for him...may help him jump into the survival mode with a. Bit more knowledge :-)

Please help, my six year old has the pocket edition for iOS and he has pleaded with me to find out how he can get a moving dragon into his game, preferably from how to train your dragon, where do I start?

Mods are stuff like Mr.crayfishes furniture mod which adds in furniture. My seggestion is that you go on YouTube and search mods for Minecraft PE that work. Also, you can use cheats by pressing the chat button and typing /gamemode 1.
